There are multiple alternatives to engaging to improve this proposal, only one of 
which is the status quo. Other alternatives include working instead to improve the 
current multistakeholder systems attending to these matters, or proposing use of 
an existing treaty body for these purposes.  To frame the question as an either/or 
situation detracts from its fair consideration in fullness of context.
